Year 9 Parents’/Carers’ Progress and Options Evening ( Published: 09/01/2025)

We are delighted to invite you and your child into school to attend our Year 9 Progress and Choices Evening on Wednesday 5th February 2025.

This evening is one of the most important during your child’s time at school. As well as meeting with their teachers to discuss the progress in their subjects, you will be able to confirm your child’s Key Stage 4 option choices. I would stress the importance of attending the evening as not doing so may lead to your child not being allocated their first-choice options.

There is also the opportunity to ask questions of Heads of Faculty and teaching staff who will be available to discuss the requirements for each course. You and your child will be able to find out about the way that the subjects are examined, how much controlled assessment is involved and the skills that will be taught. You will be able to discuss the courses on offer with the subject teachers and have the opportunity to ask questions. This will be invaluable in helping to choose the most appropriate options.

You will need to book your 5-minute slots to see each subject teacher through our online booking system, School Cloud. Simply follow the instructions on this page to get started. Please ensure that you have made your bookings by Friday 31st January 2025. If you require help to make your appointments, please call Miss Meredith at Student Services on 0161 861 9727.
